Owen Burns, a 13-year-old Michigan boy, is being credited with saving his sister's life after he fended off a would-be kidnapper by shooting him with a slingshot.

Police later found the suspect hiding at a nearby gas station suffering from injuries consistent with being hit by a slingshot.

Owen wasn't always allowed to use the slingshot at home, because he would occasionally break things, but Margaret said she was glad her son picked it up when he did, and called his actions that day "very impressive."

Before we had carry here in St. Louis, I would keep a wrist rocket in the glovebox, with an Altoids box of either .50 or .58 round balls. Go right through a board.
